AZ International Marketplace Closes in Mesa: Eateries on the Hunt for New Locations

AZ International Marketplace, a prominent 100,000-square-foot grocery store specializing in Asian products and featuring various smaller restaurants and shops, has announced its impending closure. After more than eight years of operation in Mesa, the marketplace will officially shut its doors on December 1.
The store has been a significant hub for the local community, offering an array of authentic Asian ingredients and dining experiences. Many patrons have expressed disappointment over the announcement, underscoring the marketplace’s role in promoting cultural diversity through food.
As the date approaches, shoppers are encouraged to visit and take advantage of the remaining offerings. The closure marks the end of an era for many who frequented the marketplace for both its culinary products and the vibrant atmosphere it provided.
Local businesses and residents alike will feel the impact of the marketplace’s departure, as it played a crucial role in the area’s economic and cultural landscape.
